  • Motorland Aragón hosts intensive Extreme E test in build-up to inaugural season
  • W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick demonstrates driving prowess in Spain
  • Veloce Racing set to battle it out against Lewis Hamilton’s X44, Nico Rosberg’s RXR and Andretti United amongst others

Veloce Racing has completed its first official Extreme E test, recording two days of running (18-19 December) with its ODYSSEY 21 across two off-road circuit variants at Motorland Aragón, Spain. Overall, the test was deemed a resounding success with the team gathering vital driver feedback and data ahead of the Saudi Arabian season-opener.

The test was also the first opportunity for drivers to experience the car at its maximum output of 400kW (550bhp), as the power had been limited during the team’s previous shakedowns at Château de Lastours in France.

Veloce Racing was at the sharp end for the duration as its drivers put the all-wheel drive, electric SUV through its paces, regularly topping the timesheets in the process.

The team’s first driver signing, Jamie Chadwick, utilised all of the skills that earned her the titles of W Series Champion and Williams F1 Development Driver, setting strong lap times as she continued her off-road racing apprenticeship.

Meanwhile, Veloce Racing was evaluating two world-class drivers to fill the remaining seat at the team. Both were on the pace from the outset around the 3.1km and 1km courses. The full driver line-up will be announced in early 2021.

Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing, commented:

“It was absolutely fantastic to see our dream become a reality at Motorland last week. It really was amazing to see all the cars and teams lined up in a competitive test. Extreme E has done an amazing job to pull this together this year, of all the years, and what a boost to see the Veloce Racing car quick and competitive straight out of the box. We are all so pumped and ready for 2021.”

Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Managing Director of Sporting and Operations, Veloce Racing added:

“Walking into a paddock full of world champions and massive names from all over motorsport was something very special. Extreme E is certainly the hot ticket and we are immensely proud to be amongst it, and the icing on the cake was to be so competitive.  There is a long journey ahead and we are aware of the huge amount of talent and success around us. It really does seem like the best sort of blue sky thinking in the midst of such a taxing year, and we at Veloce Racing will be counting down the days to that first race in Saudi.”

The Veloce Racing ODYSSEY 21 will now return to the workshop before departing on the St Helena in mid-February, the floating Extreme E paddock will then head for AlUla, Saudi Arabia (20-21 March) before moving on to Dakar, Senegal (29-30 May), Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (28-29 August), Para, Brazil (23-24 October) and Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina (11-12 December).

Groove says its casino content library passes 20,000 games

Published

groove-says-its-casino-content-library-passes-20,000-games

Groove says it has passed 20,000 titles in its aggregated casino content library, delivered to partners via “one API” and managed through its Groove Command back office.

The company said the catalogue includes slots, instant win games, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style titles, plus “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” Groove added that the portfolio is now live and available to its partners worldwide.

Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said the company focuses on curation rather than chasing volume: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” Says Tourgeman. “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”

Groove said recent integrations include KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it described as offering “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” The company said the additions were assessed for technical compatibility and “commercial distinctiveness.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, positioned the milestone as part of a broader platform pitch: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” said Meltzer. “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement. It says that Groove has become the default engine for operators who want to move fast, compete smart, and never compromise on content depth. But we are not stopping here. The next 20,000 will be even more selective, more integrated, and more aligned with where player behaviour is heading. Volume without curation is noise. We are building a signal.”
